What’s opening Friday, March 27?
The last week of March brings us three new movies, one of which is sure to be a big hit, and the others, well …
The Haunting in Connecticut: Another Lionsgate horror cheapie that seems to be generating more notice for the trouble it’s causing in real life than for anything actually on the screen. And what the heck is Virginia Madsen doing in this? (She provides the answer here.) Or Elias Koteas, for that matter?
Monsters vs. Aliens: The obvious behemoth this week. Review posts Friday, but in 2D only. Sorry.
12 Rounds: An action flick with wrestling star John Cena and directed by Renny Harlin, who has been doing his best to make us forget he once had talent. I won’t even take one round of that.

The Neon hangs onto Two Lovers and the ever-popular Slumdog Millionaire, adding the acclaimed French Oscar nominee The Class to the mix.
The Little Art opens the excellent I’ve Loved You So Long, with outstanding performances by Kristin Scott-Thomas and Elsa Zylberstein as sisters trying to overcome a very troubled past. Also new: Waltz with Bashir, the acclaimed animated film about the Lebanon war of the early 80s.

The best thing about this weekend is in Columbus: The annual 24 Hour Sci Fi Marathon is this weekend. Among the films on this year’s line-up: Logan’s Run, Star Trek 2, The Thing (1951), Rollerball (1975), RoboCop, Cat Women of the Moon (in 3-D) and something called Tokyo Gore Police. That’s where I will be this weekend.
